- Mary,
- You are right. If you fly 4 segments you get nothing, but the miles, 8 you
- get the miles plus the free trip. Last winter, they had same promotion, which
- I was unaware of. My wife flew 7 segments, we flew non-stop back one time, and
- did not qualify. So, I wanted to know each detail so I would not get burned
- again.
